Fair Congressional Districts for Ohio

$22,017

The Fair Congressional Districts for Ohio campaign is committed to ending the hyperpartisan way in which congressional districts are manipulated by the political party in power. When in power, politicians from both major political parties have drawn the district lines to favor their own political party and created uncompetitive "safe seats" for members of Congress.

Our proposed constitutional initiative would transfer authority for drawing congressional district lines from the legislature to the bipartisan Ohio Redistricting Commission, and would allow any Ohio Citizen to propose a plan. Any plan must have bipartisan support to be adopted, and must strictly follow a series of good-government criteria.

Our initiative would reform congressional redistricting as Issue 1 (passed by 71.5 percent of Ohio's voters in 2015) eliminated the gerrymandering of state legislative districts.

Please contribute generously to this campaign for fair congressional elections in Ohio.

“The Congressional districts here are unfairly drawn, which assures Republican wins, even though there are a majority of Democrats here, especially in Cuyahoga Country. Too many actions have been taken by Republicans to suppress and restrict voting and to control the outcome of elections in their favor.”

Robert Allington endorsed

“Gerrymandering needs to stop. Just look at your Congressional/Senate districts. Look at the mapping, does it look fair to you ?”

Deborah Peluso endorsed

“It is time for reform. The people should choose their politicians, not the other way around!”

Catherine Becker endorsed

“I support Fair Congressional Districts for Ohio because I want to see an end to gerrymandering in Ohio.”

Susan Taft endorsed

“If the principle of "one person one vote" is to be realized, it requires a level playing field, i.e. a structure of fair districting. Without fair districting, some votes count not at all while others count multiple times.”

Mark and Marilyn Stockstill endorsed

“Gerrymandering by any party "in power"
allows it's representatives to ignore or even listen to the will of the majority voters—thereby enabling those representatives to advance narrow unpopular party objectives without fear of voter removal from office.”

james ebert endorsed

“It will lead to more democratic choosing of our elected representatives”

Connie Vaughn endorsed

“I support Fair Congressional Districts for Ohio because everyone deserves fair elections and for their vote to count.”

Lucinda Garmus endorsed

Judy Williams endorsed

“I support fair districts because competitive districts produce better candidates. It's just wrong for a state so evenly split between Democrats and Republicans to have districts drawn to result in 12 Republican and only 4 Democrats elected to Congress.”
